Obergefell v. Hodges, in 2015 — and a 19-year courtship — we exchanged vows on a mountaintop in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, in Canada.
At that time, we still couldn’t legally marry in our home state of Georgia.When we adopted our first child in 2011, the State of Georgia did not allow us to adopt him as a couple.
We each had to adopt him individually, and separately. Today, and together with my husband and two sons, I live in a neighborhood with no other families with same-sex parents.
We proudly fly our rainbow flag in front of our home each June in celebration of Pride Month and how far we’ve personally come, with the support and love of our neighbors and community.Beyond the fight for civil rights, many members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
